Looking at swapping my car (corsa redtop) for a starlet GT Turbo Automatic. Was unsure of a few things and thought this would be the place to ask the questions. Ok so obviously I would rather have a manual but just now that's not the option I have got. I have the spec list of the starlet I have been offered and a few questions if anyone can answer some or all of them, that would be greatly appreciated.
All the work that has been done to the car was carried out by CRD
Spec List
Engine and gearbox were rebuilt at the end of 2009
Cruise 1.6mm headgasket
Samco hoses and hard boost pipes
HKS FMIC
HKS actuator
Walbro 255lph fuel pump
Adjustable FPR
Greddy in car boost controller
Greddy forged dump valve
Unknown turbo manifold + decat and exhaust system (2.5 inch)
EBC disks + greenstuff pads
Few other things like new CV's and omp racing seats but nothing too exciting.
Question 1 - In standard form how much slower is the auto than the manual in 0-60 terms?
Question 2 - What is the general performance of the auto's and how much difference will these small amount of mods add to this?
Question 3 - How much would it be to convert to manual (I've been told £700-£1000)
Question 4 - What kind of things should I look for when checking it other than the normal car checks + smokey turbo, also where do they tend to rust?
Any replies/questions or opinions would be great, thanks.
